 Feb. 6, 2012 | Last week, Indiana became the 23rd state to become 'right-to-work' (for less) despite the efforts of thousands of Teamsters and other union members. The anti-union march moved on to Arizona, where its legislature passed a ban on public unions. Still, the news wasn't a total bust for union workers last week. There is push back happening and Main Street has examples: Florida activists successfully stalled their state's insane prison privatization scheme, and the "Buffett Rule" (Pay a Fair Share Act) - was introduced in the Senate. New York moved toward raising the minimum wage and the unemployment rate dropped. More at Main Street.
